At Rest

Deadly force
The day after Christmas, four months after Katrina, Hayes argued with a drugstore clerk. He left the store and became aggressive with two officers who engaged him, and he produced a 3-inch knife. To quote CBS "16 more officers came to help." Ultimately Hayes was shot at nine times at least. In September 2011 the city settled two separate wrongful-death suits for undisclosed sums, likely in the millions.
This record exists so that Anthony Hayes, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
